Aaron Phipps plays wheelchair rugby for Great Britain. He has been to two Paralympic games and won gold at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. GB went from fifth in the world to win the gold medal; he was part of the team that were the first European side to win a medal in wheelchair rugby at any Paralympic games. Prior to his successful career in wheelchair rugby, Aaron completed three London marathons.

Aside from sport, Aaron is a professional speaker delivering keynotes to thousands of people across the globe. His strong messages around resilience, mindset and performance move audiences and create awareness of disability.

Aaron works as a brand ambassador for various companies helping them with their disability and inclusion agenda. Currently, he is working alongside Levy and DWP to help recruit more disabled people in the hospitality sector. Aaron is an ambassador for the Meningitis Research Foundation, raising awareness of the symptoms of meningitis and raising more than £250,000 for the charity.

In 2016 Aaron attempted to climb Mt Kilimanjaro and become the first wheelchair user to reach the summit unaided. When the wheelchair couldn’t cope, he refused to be carried and crawled on his hands and knees for four days to reach the top.

Earlier this year, Aaron received an honorary doctorate from Southampton Solent University for services to sport and was awarded an MBE for services to wheelchair rugby.

Aaron is a proud father of two wonderful young girls.

In addition to Aaron’s many achievements, Adam Hill from The Last Leg announced, live at Wembley, that he has a man crush on him.
